When Ravens wide receiver Chris Moore leapt to catch a too-high pass by quarterback Lamar Jackson, the ball bounced off his hands. Adrian Phillips snagged the ball as it fell, giving the Chargers possession on their own 41-yard line with 8:57 left in the second quarter.

The interception was Jackson’s first since Nov. 25; the rookie quarterback was picked off three times in the regular season. Phillips, who made one interception and no fumble recoveries in the regular season, has recovered a fumble and made an interception so far against the Ravens.

The Chargers defense has held Jackson to two completions in seven attempts, for 17 passing yards.

When the Ravens fumbled the football in the first quarter, Adrian Phillips recovered, giving the Chargers possession in the red zone. The play set the Chargers up for a field goal to take a 3-0 lead with 7:03 left in the first quarter.

It was the third time in the first quarter that the Ravens offense lost the football. The first two times, the Ravens could recover their slip-ups. But on the third fumble, Phillips grabbed the ball on the Ravens’ 15-yard-line.

From there, the Ravens defense held off the Chargers offense, leaving Michael Badgley to drill a 21-yard field goal and take an early lead.

Nick Hardwick spent 11 years as the Chargers' center from 2004 to 2014, sharing the huddle with quarterback Philip Rivers and tight end Antonio Gates for most of that time, and after retirement three more years (2015-17) as a radio broadcaster for the team.

He was not on the sideline or in the booth for the Chargers' 22-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Dec. 22, but, as he watched on television through the eyes of an NFL veteran, he sensed a subtle difference in the intensity levels of the teams.

The Chargers had clinched an AFC playoff berth with a dramatic comeback victory at Kansas City the week before, and they were still in the hunt for a No. 1 seed and bye through the wild-card round of the playoffs.
